Removing a wing can make a supercar less serious, or simply reveal the idea underneath it. Gordon Murray’s S1 strips away the S1 LM’s most aggressive aerodynamics to pursue a different brief: long-distance speed with three seats and three pedals.

The Gordon Murray S1 uses a bespoke 4.2-liter naturally aspirated Cosworth V12 producing up to 681 horsepower at 12,100 rpm. Approximately 80 percent of its torque is available from 2,500 rpm, with 369 lb-ft arriving at 7,000 rpm. A six-speed manual includes a taller touring sixth gear and straighter cable routing intended to preserve the company’s characteristic rifle-bolt shift.

Although it shares its carbon-fiber monocoque and basic suspension architecture with the S1 LM, every exterior body panel is new. The fixed rear wing, long splitter, and deep side skirts disappear, replaced by integrated active rear aerodynamics that manage stability and braking. Ride height rises 0.4 inch and the dampers receive a more compliant road calibration. Target weight remains below approximately 2,198 pounds despite additional sound insulation, a lightweight audio system, and more substantial cabin trim.

The central driving position and three-seat layout remain, joined by leather, tailored fabrics, switchable power steering, and dihedral doors with conventional drop-down windows. Low-mounted auxiliary lights and new wheels reference Murray’s unrealized 1992 Monaco show car without turning the S1 into a retro exercise.

Production is limited to 64 individually commissioned cars. Every current allocation is reserved, and pricing remains undisclosed.
